Feature Request: Local Split‑Screen / Guest Play for F1® 25 on Cloud

Game: F1® 25
Mode: Local Multiplayer / Split‑Screen
Platforms affected: Xbox Cloud Gaming

Summary

I’d like to suggest adding local split‑screen or guest player support to F1® 25 when played via cloud platforms, for titles and modes that already support local multiplayer on console.

Context

On Xbox Series X|S, F1® 25 supports local split‑screen, which works well for couch co‑op and casual play. However, when the same game is played via Xbox Cloud Gaming, local multiplayer is unavailable, even though multiple controllers can be connected.

This creates a noticeable gap between the console and cloud experience.

Why this matters

• Cloud Gaming is promoted as “play anywhere”, but currently doesn’t support shared‑screen play
• Families and casual players often rely on one screen, two controllers
• Parity between console and cloud versions would improve accessibility and inclusivity

Adding support here would be a game changer for households that primarily use cloud platforms.

Possible approaches (any would help)

• Limit to 2 players max
• Allow a guest player without a full second account
• Enable per‑mode or per‑game opt‑in where technically feasible

Even a limited or experimental implementation would be valuable.

Closing

This is intended as constructive feedback rather than a complaint.
F1® 25 is already a great experience locally, and extending that to cloud platforms would make it even more accessible.

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider the suggestion.
